Post GridCommand from MVC Grid Toolbar?

[Mike]

Hi,

I am already using Custom Binding for some custom filtering combined with paging on the MVC Grid. I would like to add an Export to Excel button to the toolbar that will post the current filter/sorting/etc. to the action/route of my choosing so that I can return the current filtered data in an Excel file. How can I do this?

Specifically: How can I set up a toolbar button to post the current GridCommand data to the action/route of my choosing? I know how to do the Excel export part, but I need to know how to post the current filter and sorting data using a toolbar button. Note also that I have too long of a filter to use a Get request, so I must use a Post.

Hi, I have the same doubt! Did you find a solution?

There wasn't a telerik built-in solution for this. I ended up just using jQuery to select the button on ready and set a click event on it. The click event then gathers the data it needs and uses the method here: http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_plugin_for_requesting_ajax_like_file_downloads/ to do the post to download the file. Hope this helps!

Good question, I have the same problem. I'd like to hear about this issue from Telerik.
